That is marijuana can be grown anywhere and doesn't need to be processed or formulated or whatever. In essence it is cheap and big business pharmaceuticals would lose money on the meds this would supplant (glaucoma meds, painkillers, etc). They cannot allow this to happen so I am sure they will lobby heavily against any bill allowing it to happen and we will never see one.

Except for your injection of "Bush" into this mix (PharmaCos are equal opportunity whores, imho)...this is a very savvy position and one which also makes incredible sense.
I exclude Bush because I believe his position is one of an addict who believes that self control and substance abuse is best "regulated" or criminalized by the feds.
Another reason personally, why Bush is by no means a "conservative" at all.
